Short Passages

Opening context:
The Flow through Rooms, Building Thoroughfare, Circulation Realms

Conflict

“...long, sterile corridors set the scene for everything bad about modern architecture.”

Resolution

Keep passages short. Make them as much like rooms as possible, with carpets or wood on the floor, furniture, bookshelves, beautiful windows. Make them generous in shape, and always give them plenty of light; the best corridors and passages of all are those which have windows along an entire wall.

Closing context:
Light on Two Sides of Every Room, Window Place, Thick Walls, Outdoor Room, Solid Doors with Glass
